Joy’s lighthearted, unpretentious approach to baking shines through in her cookbook. It’s hard not to love chapter titles like: “pancakes pancakes pancakes, and other lesser breakfast items”; “i need a hug or a brownie. maybe both.”; and “i think i just ate chocolate for dinner.” Her treats are perfect for sharing with family and friends and, of course, for spring holiday celebrations like Easter and Mother’s Day.

I'm making Portuguese sweet bread in honor of my grandfather for Easter. He made the best, but unfortunately took the recipe w/ him when he passed away. I've gotten close a few times, but never quite good enough.
